Urinothorax was first described in 1968 by Corriere et al. as the presence of urine in the pleural cavity due to retroperitoneal leakage of accumulated urine. Herein, we present a female patient, who complained of dyspnea due to urinothorax. This is the first case of urinothorax that developed so tardive after radiotherapy and was diagnosed due to high clinical evidence despite the negative scintigraphy.

Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Ceftriaxone combination therapy versus respiratory fluoroquinolone monotherapy for community-acquired pneumonia: A meta-analysis.
The goal of this study was to investigate whether ceftriaxone combination therapy is associated with better clinical outcomes than respiratory fluoroquinolone monotherapy for adults with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We conducted a meta-analysis of published studies. ⋯ Current evidence showed that the efficacy of ceftriaxone combination therapy was similar to respiratory fluoroquinolone monotherapy for hospitalized CAP patients, and was associated with lower drug-related adverse events.
